If you are looking for a DVD that record off the air digital or analog with good quality well the Toshiba 670 is the one.I've had this unit for 2 weeks and have ran it threw the ringer and it has met and exceeded all my expectations.I have read reviews on other sights about how hard the unit is to set up and use this is not so,you either got to be dumb or just plain crazy if you can't operate this machine.As far as the VHS dubbing the 670 record what it see if your tape is poor quality then you get poor quality what do you expect.DVD recorded from TV play is the same or better as seen on TV.So i give this 670 a 5*****.When i get some more money i will buy another one from B&H.

I had no problems ordering this DVD/VCR Recorder Combo and the price was low, compared to other stores. It arrived quickly and well-packaged. Fortunately, they also took it back within 15 days with no hassle because the machine was a major disappointment.
It was complex to set up and use compared to similar units I've owned in the past. The design and layout of the remote is terrible (the program set and timer set buttons are small, look just like channel number buttons, and are at opposite ends of the remote from each other); the writing on the remote is tiny white lettering on a black background- very difficult to see unless you turn on a bright light. If you want to tape two shows on different channels back-to back, the beginning of the second show is omitted (this never happened with my other machines). And, no matter how hard I tried to set the clock (auto or manual PLUS I made sure DST was off & correct time zone was selected) it keep going back an hour by the next day. In an effort to compensate for that, I set the clock ahead by one hour; the next day, it had gone back TWO hours. I gave up after that.
Playing or stopping tapes produced very loud clunking noises from the unit. The quality of tapes played or recorded on VHS was okay. I don't know about the DVD quality because I returned it before I could even try that feature out. Good riddance!

Comments about Toshiba DVR670 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo:
I got this mostly to dub old VHS tapes to DVD.
At first I thought the manuel was intimidating but actually the instructions were clear and not that hard to follow.
After making 2 DVDs Im happy with the product
Finalizing dvds is a little awkward and there is a longish pause for uploading.

Comments about Toshiba DVR670 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo:
I bought this so that I could dub VHS tapes onto DVD as advertised and so far, it had been working very well. the quality of the DVD is very good and I have only had one tape that did not transfer well as it is very old and I did not expect a great result. I have had it for about three weeks and I can do about 5 dubbings a day. So far, so good!

Comments about Toshiba DVR670 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo:
I bought this mainly to transfer video from a camcorder to DVDs, but also VHS tapes to DVDs. I haven't had a chance to do much of this yet, but it seems to work fine. The only problem so far is that the instruction manual is a little hard to follow.

Comments about Toshiba DVR670 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo:
Playback of both tapes and discs is good. The manual is lacking. It implies that you can record from one format to the other using only the unit itself. That seems logical but since you have to select which format you have "active", the source side powers off when the record side is selected. There must be a way around this but I haven't found it yet.

Comments about Toshiba DVR670 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo:
This unit seemed to fit the bill for my needs following the demise of my previous DVD/VCR. Initially there was difficulty in getting through the start up directions, but, finally, I was able to set time and program the VCR. DVD played well.
Now I can't get the unit off DVD to get VCR to operate. When trying to switch to the VCR the unit doesn't do it. I have a VCR cassette in the machine, but can not get the unit to eject. There is a bit of frustration in trying to figure this out, and I'm an A/V technician. Likely I will have to contact Toshiba to get this straightened out. For playing DVDs, right now, this unit is doing very well, but for VCR ....

Comments about Toshiba DVR670 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo:
You can use this recorder without reading the instructions. Pop in a VHS take, pop in a DVD, press "dub" and it's done. You can watch your tape while it records to the DVD. This is why I bought the device and I haven't used it to record from the TV, but if it is as easy as dubbing a VHS tape, there will be no problem.

Comments about Toshiba DVR670 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo:
Right on par for similar items. Tried as an alternative to the usual JVC and LG units I've been buying. Would probably buy again but I've just gotten used to the JVC units. Only real difference I've noticed is QAM numbers don't translate as well as other manufacturers. Overall, good unit to use.
